| Abstract: | Geostrophic drag coefficients are obtained from direct measurements of the momentum flux and from an objective analysis of the synoptic pressure field by the method of least squares. At a site in the Kiel Bight, a mean geostrophic drag coefficient c
g
= 0.0223 was obtained with near neutral/ slightly unstable conditions and a surface Rossby Number of 1.2 × 109.Contribution of the sonderforschungsbereich  Meeresforschung Hamburg der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft, Hamburg, F.R.G. |
